Topics and issues in library and information science education
pedagogy are commonly discussed in panels, conferences,
peer-reviewed articles, professional articles, and dedicated
monographs. However, in this abundance of education-oriented
discussions, there are several noticeable gaps and omissions. Not
always do education-oriented publications involve theoretical
grounding that could make them stronger in argumentation and more
generalizable to other contexts. Addressing these gaps, the book
stands to strengthen the less covered areas of LIS pedagogical
thought; it enriches a theoretical foundation of pedagogical
discourse and broadens its scope. This volume brings together a
collection of essays from library and information science (LIS)
educators from around the world who delve into difficult,
unpopular, and uncommonly discussed topics—the inglorious
pedagogy, as we call it—based on their practice and scholarship.
Presenting perspectives from Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand,
the United Kingdom, and the United States, each chapter is a case
study, rooted not only in the author’s experience but also in a
solid theoretical or analytical framework that helps the reader
make sense of the situations, behaviors, impact, and human emotions
involved in each. The collective thought woven in the book chapters
leads the reader through the milestones of (in)glorious pedagogy to
a better understanding of the potentially transformative nature and
wasted opportunities of graduate LIS education and higher education
in general.
Humanizing LIS Education and Practice: Diversity by Design
demonstrates that diversity concerns are relevant to all and need
to be approached in a systematic way. Developing the Diversity by
Design concept articulated by Dali and Caidi in 2017, the book
promotes the notion of the diversity mindset. Grouped into three
parts, the chapters within this volume have been written by an
international team of seasoned academics and practitioners who make
diversity integral to their professional and scholarly activities.
Building on the Diversity by Design approach, the book presents
case studies with practice models for two primary audiences: LIS
educators and LIS practitioners. Chapters cover a range of issues,
including, but not limited to, academic promotion and tenure; the
decolonization of LIS education; engaging Indigenous and
multicultural communities; librarians' professional development in
diversity and social justice; and the decolonization of library
access practices and policies. As a collection, the book
illustrates a systems-thinking approach to fostering diversity and
inclusion in LIS, integrating it by design into the LIS curriculum
and professional practice. Calling on individuals, organizations,
policymakers, and LIS educators to make diversity integral to their
daily activities and curriculum, Humanizing LIS Education and
Practice: Diversity by Design will be of interest to anyone engaged
in research and professional practice in Library and Information
Science.
